The document discusses community planning and capacity building for disaster recovery. It focuses on supporting local governments and determining what is needed to be successful in adapting after a disaster. Key factors in community resilience include leadership, planning, community engagement, and recovery management. The Community Planning and Capacity Building Recovery Support Function coordinates support from federal and non-federal groups to help local governments improve their planning, coordination, and public information capabilities for disaster recovery. Failure to adapt can result from lack of leadership, direction, coordination, and community involvement.
